Over the last 4 Years, the three trucks I have been assigned to have had exhaust leaks that vented into the cab.  One was a Freightliner (approx 2017 model), and two have been Internationals.

Some leaks I only found with a thermal camera. The exhaust leaks are not the main problem.  The problem is that design of these trucks cause any leaking engine gases to be pushed into the cab of the truck, mostly through the air conditioning/heater vents.   I have tested this. I zip tied a can of orange air freshener under the hood.  The can was positioned in such a way as to point away from the air intake box, toward the back of the engine.  When driving at highway speed, the orange air freshener was very strong coming into the cab from the a/c vents.
